Zhang Zheng said excitedly: "Sister Shen, I have prepared the glaze formula you gave me last time! The color is so beautiful! I have also fired a few porcelains. Can you see if the color I mixed is correct and whether it looks good after firing?"
As he said this, he was about to put down the backpack.
Xing Nong saw that he was sweating profusely and said, "Go in and drink some water first."
"Okay!" Zhang Zheng said happily.
Xingnong pushed open the gate, and Zhang Zheng and his sheep walked in.
Chu Tiankuo took a look inside and saw that there was no one at home, just a man and a woman.
Chu Tiankuo raised his foot...
"Goodbye, senior brother!" Xingnong said to Chu Tiankuo who was going to inspect the construction of the imperial archway, and then closed the gate.
There are chickens and puppies in the yard now, so it's not suitable to leave the door open.
Chu Tiankuo: “…”
Songbai: Look! Look! This is the result of visiting someone without any courtesy and without any knowledge of the ways of the world.
Chu Tiankuo stretched out his hand and pushed open the gate.
The two turned to look at him.
Chu Tiankuo glanced at Zhang Zheng and said calmly, "I have something to ask him."
Zhang Zheng was surprised when he heard this: "What do you want to talk to me about? Do we know each other?"
"About the Eco lamp."
Xing Nong heard this and said, "Then come in, brother!"

In the yard, the bison brought two piglets and a group of chickens. The ducklings were eating strawberries and corn kernels in the yard...
The little goat drooled as it watched: it knew that if it followed its little master out, it would see the fruit it had eaten last time.
Everyone in the family went to the backyard to help build the wall, and there was no one in the house.
The three of them sat around a square table, on which was placed a basket of strawberries and corn.
Xingnong picked up a few strawberries and two corns and put them on the ground for the little goat to eat.
The little goat immediately lowered his head and started eating: The food here is so good!
Zhang Zheng picked up pieces of exquisite pastel porcelain one by one and placed them on the table, just like presenting a treasure: "Sister Shen, I made these according to your method. What do you think?"
These porcelains mainly include vases, teapots, pen holders, bowls and plates. They have fine texture, soft and elegant colors, and distinct layers of light and dark of flowers and birds, which are fresh, transparent, warm and real, and vividly appear on the bottles.
There was amazement in Xing Nong's eyes: "You did a great job, better than anything I've ever seen."
During this dynasty, ceramics developed to the stage of blue and white porcelain, five-color and doucai, but there was no pastel.
What Xingnong wrote to Zhang Yu was the method of making pastels.
The pink peppers have many color levels, obvious transition effects, and a strong sense of three-dimensionality. Compared with the blue and white filling of Doucai, the three-dimensional effect of flat filling is much stronger.
Xingnong looked at the teapot and thought of the purple clay teapot.
I just don't know where to find the purple clay ore in this world.
She decided to write about the characteristics of the five-color purple clay ore and the color matching method for him next time to see if he could find it.
Chu Tiankuo picked up a teapot and looked at the bottom, his eyes flashing: there was a word "Zhang" on it.
But it is not the seal of Zhang’s porcelain kiln, but a seal written in a new way.
But he was already sure it was the Zhang family.
"Your last name is Zhang?"
"Well, my name is Zhang Zheng. Sister Shen, thank you very much. Because of you, my grandfather finally allowed me to print my own seal on the porcelain!"
Xing Nong smiled and said, "You did a good job."
Chu Tiankuo: "Master Zhang, the court plans to make 10,000 oil-saving lamps. How about letting you make them?"
A fire broke out in the Zhang family that year, and all the direct descendants of the Zhang family were killed in the flames. Only Liang, the wife of the young master of the Zhang family who had been married for three years, escaped from the flames. The Zhang family porcelain kiln also disappeared.
The Song Dynasty's porcelain kilns gradually began to dominate the Chu State.
He found out that Liang remarried the owner of the Song porcelain kiln as his second wife two years later, and the Song porcelain kiln became more and more famous.
The accident at Zhang’s porcelain kiln happened half a year before the accident at my maternal grandfather’s family.
Several major events happened that year.
The Zhang family porcelain kiln disappeared; the Xu family shipyard had an accident, the owner was killed, the dock was burned down, and the lifting of the sea ban was forced to be shelved for many years; my grandfather's family was executed...
One thing after another, he didn't think it was unrelated.
He had been unable to find the Zhang family, but he never expected that after searching for so long, he would find them without any effort.
He wanted to know whether the young man's grandfather was the head of the Zhang family, or had any relationship with the Zhang family, and whether he knew what happened back then.
Zhang Zheng hesitated for a moment after hearing this: "I have to go back and ask my grandfather about this. I'll give you an answer tomorrow!"
He ran away secretly and his grandfather didn't know!
Chu Tiankuo: "Okay."
Zhang Zheng realized that he had been out for a long time, so he stood up immediately: "Sister Shen, I have to go! I'll come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he picked up the rope holding the kid on the ground and pulled it: "Xiaoshan, let's go!"
The little goat looked at the bison and piglets eating strawberries and corn in the distance, and it didn't move.
Zhang Zheng pulled the rope hard and pulled it away, "Let's go home!"
The little goat stretched out its four legs, firmly supporting itself on the ground, with one of its legs hooked onto the table leg.
It won't go away!
It hasn’t eaten enough!
Zhang Zheng: “… ”
This foodie can’t move when he sees food!
Zhang Zheng loosened the rope: "If you don't leave, I will give you to Sister Shen!"
The little goat immediately ran towards the bison and his companions.
Zhang Zheng: “… ”
In the end, Zhang Zheng failed to take the goat away, and he left with a basket of strawberries and corn.

The next day, early in the morning.
Gu was helping to build the courtyard wall in the back, while Shen Ruoxi and Xing Qing went to the river to wash clothes.
Xingnong was weeding and watering the vegetables in the yard. The vegetables in the yard had already grown several leaves and would be ready to eat in half a month.
The corn is growing quite fast and is already as tall as half of Xingnong's arm.
At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Xing Nong thought it was Zhang Zheng and said, "Just push the door open and come in."
Gu Ping and Zhou Jinjin pushed open the door and walked in carrying two boxes of snacks and a basket of eggs.
Gu Ping glanced at Xing Nong and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Xing Nong? She is getting more and more beautiful. I was in a hurry to return to the city when you moved that day and didn't come over. I came over today because I have time. Where's my aunt?"
Zhou Jinjin looked Xingnong up and down secretly. Her facial features were quite delicate, but she was a little too thin. When she grew up a little more, she would be a dark beauty.
I don’t know what Xing Qing looks like. How could someone like that be interested in her
Xing Nong took a moment to realize that she was the daughter of her great uncle Gu Yuxia. She heard that she had married into an oil press business in the city and was living a good life.
Xing Nong shouted to the backyard: "Grandma, someone is looking for you!"
Gu Ping smiled and said, "I'm your eldest cousin, and this is your uncle, Xingnong. Don't you recognize me?"
"I don't know him." Xingnong said and continued weeding without paying any attention to them.
Gu Ping: “…”
How can this child be so rude? He really lacks family education.
Zhou Jinjin frowned.
He is indeed a bastard who was born by his mother but not taught by his father.
They all introduced themselves, but no one greeted them or invited them into the house to sit down.
Even if you get the emperor's reward, you won't be able to go far!
I thought he was a capable person, if I had known he would not have come!
Gu ran out at this time, and saw Gu Ping and said happily: "A Ping is here! What's the matter? Come, let's talk inside."
